Cleaner Wrasse

[gonefishin]

Looking to add a cleaner Wrasse to my system. All fish treated with Copper Power, GC, and Metro. Can the Wrasse survive in thearupetic levels of Copper Power? Any advice would be appreciated.

Generally wrasses are fine with Copper Power. The trick is to s-l-o-w-l-y ramp up the copper to therapeutic levels over several days. Small doses spread out to AM & PM over several days allows you the time to observe for the occasional fish that is copper sensitive "before" it is too late to stop the dosing. Copper is after all a poison and some fish just don't do well. Do you have a Hanna HL Copper Checker to monitor the copper level. Its wonderful. Low stress on you and the fish.
